So I played this game a while back and absolutely adored it. Loved the gunslinger build. Is the latest update open to the public, or is it being privately playtested?

It's in private beta, but should be available in early access on Steam by the end of the month!

[Cookie Monster]

Awesome, you can still be a badass gunslinger I hope.

[Daggoth]

Can't wait for this one! I thought it looked awesome in alpha, watching Plump Helmet Punk and JefMajor's Let's Plays were extremely entertaining.

Any information on this? I am a looong time player and I can't wait to get my hands on the new version .

We hired a PR firm, and ended up delaying it by 6-8 weeks, because we decided it was going to be more effective to spread out the marketing push between Sproggiwood mobile and Qud with a PR firm on board, compared to doing it all ourselves after work hours. It'll also give us time to get steam qud into better shape.

Probably a good choice. I have seen sproggiwood mentioned in other channels but I get the impression that Qud is relatively unknown. Which is a shame because it is awesome.

I have a friend who doesn't even like non-graphical roguelikes but he just keeps coming back to Qud, says he can't get enough of it. If that isn't a testimony to its awesome, I don't know what is.

[Dutchling]

It's good to hear this is still in active development. Qud on Steam will make me a very happy man

Here's the latest revision of the world map, still a WIP.

Does anyone have similar problem with Caves of Qud graphic mode? It seems like transparency doesn't work properly. I tried -filter option and still the same result.

This is the result of a really outdated opengl implementation; updating your drivers usually resolves it. If it doesn't, it's usually an ancient integrated chipset that can't be helped, really.

I have updated drivers and still the same result, on two laptops (on windows xp sp3, .net2).
Thinkpad x32 (with ATI Mobility Radeon) and Dell600 (with ATI Radeon 9000 GPU)  is too ancient to run 2d game with simple graphics, based on tiles? This sounds like joke for me.
Any other games, programmed in good style, with simple graphics & animations, work fine on these laptops (e.g. Dwarf Fortress, Angband(s), Adom, Brogue, Prospector, Aurora RL, Ascii Sector privateer, Freelancer, DXX-Rebirth, Armageddon Empires, Battle For Wesnoth, Age of Wonders, Eador Genesis, and many more).

The problem is they're both OpenGL 2.0 only chipsets (The ATI 9000 was released in 2002 and the set in the thinkpad in 2003-2004 I think?). I'm using a blending mode OpenGL 2.0 doesn't support. The console mode will work fine, though. Sorry about that! It's just a side effect of just the way I wrote the code.

I think that this kind of "problem" shouldn't be really a problem for experienced programmer, to change few graphical functions into more universal ones (more independent from politics and marketing). Especially when we talk about 2d game, with very simple tileset display. Pixels are just pixels.

Wow, that's awesome.  People who have never and will never contribute anything useful to the world, telling others how they ought to be able to do their jobs.  After unormal has basically given the original version of Qud out as a gift.

Second one today, great progress for the ignore list.
